AFM had a 4096 token context window and this can be configured to have a 32k+ token context window, for one.

Warner Bros has had their best summer in years (Sinners, Superman, etc). HBO still makes highly regarded prestige TV series (The Last Of Us, Task, etc). This is just false.

He's in everyone's good graces because he's now known as a kookie old man from the MTV show _The Osbournes_ that aired in the mid-2000's. Same reason why Michael Jackson, arguably the most famous person of the 90s, isn't as popular after his death given his reclusiveness and scandals. We tend to remember stars for the last impact that they had — not what they started off with.

The U.S. is notorious for not allowing vacation time, or at least is more focused on the "grindset".

Why Clojure? 1 year ago

So they try to make the least-worst JVM environment which is great if you're dead-set on using the JVM, which has a lot of pros.

For most people Python/Javascript also does the job and you don't need to learn another paradigm — a Lisp — to code for it, which also makes sense.

However, learning a Lisp also makes you a better coder because of immutability and less side-effects. Hence why Clojure is still around.

It looks like ads generally are posts from business accounts that then get a sponsored badge and some promotion among feeds. From a fediverse perspective, you won't see them unless you follow the pizza hut threads feed (to use a random example.)

There isn't a point to this article, it just reiterates the PDF, tacks on some half-baked thoughts about the upcoming election then admits that other countries with less immigration are going through the same problems.

Is this the year where Apple increases the memory on the base model above 8GB

Nope, the opposite. They're doubling down.

In an interview with IT Home, Mac marketing executive Evan Buyze spoke in favor of Macs equipped with 8GB of RAM. According to Buyze, the 8GB of RAM in entry-level Macs is enough for most of the tasks that most users do with these computers. He used web browsing, media playback, light photo and video editing, and casual gaming as examples.

Really it's just social media that's terrible. If all the social media apps go away, you still get left with all the above and can contact people you know. Algorithmic recommendations and flame wars with strangers are the worst things about smartphones — and they're not limited to them either.

Well, git ops might not be impacted on Github, usual Github outages tend to be through Actions/the site, not the actual git operations. Doesn't seem like you can use a local copy but you can use Gitbucket/Gitlab.

That's where I feel like it's actually pretty nice to not have CI tied to your source code. It's probably more expensive to use Travis/Circle but at least you don't have a single point of failure for deploys.
